WE ARE THE 99%
And when we lobby, we win!

WELCOME TO LOBBY99

Our mission is simple. We make it easy for you to have your say, in your government, that is supposed to represent your interests.

ME? LOBBY?

Yep! Lobbying isn't magic. It's simply letting your representatives know how you want them to represent you.

Corporations and rich interests lobby with their campaign contributions. But the rest of us have a lot more people. And if enough of us lobby, they won't be able to ignore us without risking their re-election.

SO WHY LOBBY99?

We make it easy and quick for you!

Our news arm, NewsInFiVe, explains news so you can clearly understand what's going in in a short amount of time.
